Bonsoir à toutes et à tous,

By the power of the light sure hand, I bless you:

"I send you the protection of Christ.
I send you the Great Light as your companion.
It possesses you and protects you from death, danger and loss.
May the Three surround you in the battle to come.
On the day of battle, may Michael be your high shield.
At the turning point of the battle, may Jesus the Blessed stand between you and the enemy's hatred.
Around you, I arrange a cloak of radiant Angels
To protect you from behind and in front,
From the crown of your forehead to the arch of your feet,
A mantle of Angels to preserve you in eternity.
Christ's peace is with you,
He wraps his loving arm around you.
The True Spirit helps and strengthens you,
His fiery sword is your support.
The Living God alone is your bulwark,
Now, always, wherever you are.
Yes, now and always,
Even when you think you're far from Him."
 

"Great king of heaven!
Be my bulwark and tower,
Lift me up in your strength,
In this night, in this hour and always.
Like Columcille's cape,
Like Michael's wings,
Like Christ's tunic,
Protect me with your love.
Hide me in the hollow of your hand
Powerful and agile,
In the difficult hour
Of labor to come.
Be my island in the sea,
My hill in the plain,
My spring in the desert,
My belfry in the face of hate.
Recourse for the destitute,
Send forth your riders of glory,
Encircle me in your smile,
In this night, in this hour and always.
As in You my soul was born,
Welcome me again
At the end of my sojourn. Amen!"
 

Blessing and prayer from the book Avalon by Stephen Lawhead
